I could, like many others, continue to ignore this mess, but I'd rather speak out, as this situation is unhealthy. I know this is normal for MMOs, and there's always irrelevant loot that can be used for leveling. But these MMOs don't remove game expansions. Bungie, If you've committed to removing something irrelevant for a given timeline while keeping the old gear, it smacks of double standards. If you announced tier 5 armor with specialization, please rework all available destination armor and armor for all key PvP/PvE activities accordingly. This armor may have a 300 Light cap in Patrols and campaigns, but it will be new armor. With your strange decisions to isolate new loot in the portal and the last two expansions, you've effectively destroyed approximately 80% of the game, including Gambit mode. The portal should be a hub for convenience, not a game within a game. You might say that old armor can be used for transmogrification, but honestly, it's crazy to buy something you don't need only to break it. Why not get rid of this outdated mechanic and unlock a whole list of old armor in the character profile? After all, players will still have to complete contracts to unlock armor skins for customization.
